Communication Protocol

O’Connor Regional Schools Communication Protocol

Stakeholder communication, support and partnership play an important role in the success of a school. Solutions are best found at the level closest to the issue or concern. As such, we have adopted the following region-wide protocol.

1) Teacher- If there is a concern or question about homework, classroom policies, events that happened in class, or anything pertaining to the teacher or classroom in general, parents must first communicate with the teacher to find a solution. A parent -teacher conference may be scheduled.

2) Department Coordinator- If there is a concern or question about homework, classroom policies, events that happened in class, or anything pertaining to the teacher or classroom in general, parents must first communicate with the teacher to find a solution. A parent -teacher conference may be scheduled.

2) Campus Counselor- If there is a concern or question about behavioral, social, or emotional concerns such as study skills and organization, peer groups, health and independence, post secondary goals parents must communicate with the school counselor to find a solution. A parent, teacher, and counselor conference may be scheduled.

3) Campus Administration- After the teacher or counselor are given the opportunity to resolve the concern or issue, and the situation has not yet improved, please contact administration. Communication with the teacher or counselor must happen prior to administrative intervention. A meeting with administration and the teacher or counselor may be scheduled.

*If a child’s safety or school-wide safety is a concern, contact the front office immediately. Administration works diligently to ensure the safety of all students.

*Please schedule specific times to meet with your child’s teacher, as he or she needs time to communicate effectively. Teachers often have professional duties directly before and after school hours.
